Revelation 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The Message to Pergamum

¹² ‘And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword:

¹³ ‘I know where you are living, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you are holding fast to my name, and you did not deny your faith in me^[a] even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan lives. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block before the people of Israel, so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and practise fornication.
